Obesity and hypertension are associated with left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy. Whether an increased body mass index (BMI) affects LV hypertrophy in patients with asymptomatic aortic stenosis independent of hypertension is not known. We used the clinical blood pressure, BMI, and echocardiographic findings recorded at baseline of 1,703 patients with asymptomatic aortic stenosis (AS) participating in the Simvastatin Ezetimibe in Aortic Stenosis (SEAS) study. The patient population was divided into 3 BMI classes: normal BMI, 18.5 to 24.9 kg/m(2); overweight, BMI 25.0 to 29.9 kg/m(2); and obese, BMI > or =30.0 kg/m(2). For the total study population, the average blood pressure was 145/82 +/- 20/10 mm Hg, age 67 +/- 10 years, BMI 26.9 +/- 4.3 kg/m(2), and peak transaortic velocity 3.1 +/- 0.5 m/s. The prevalence of hypertension increased with increasing BMI class (43% vs 51% and 63%, p <0.01). The LV mass and prevalence of LV hypertrophy increased with an increasing BMI (22% in normal, 38% in overweight, and 54% in obese patients). The LV ejection fraction and stress-corrected mid-wall fractional shortening decreased (p <0.01 vs normal-weight group). On multiple logistic regression analysis, the presence of LV hypertrophy was associated with a greater BMI (odds ratio 1.15, 95% confidence interval 1.12 to 1.18), independent of a history of hypertension, the severity of AS, older age, systolic blood pressure, and lower LV ejection fraction (all p <0.05). Valve regurgitation and gender had no independent association with the presence of LV hypertrophy. In conclusion, a greater BMI was associated with the presence of LV hypertrophy in patients with asymptomatic AS, independent of AS severity and the presence of hypertension.

Hypercholesterolemia is a common problem among transplant recipients. Despite package-insert warnings about the potential side effects of the use of statins in patients with chronic liver disease, they are often prescribed for liver transplant recipients. Unlike statins, ezetimibe acts through inhibition of enterohepatic recirculation of lipids. We report the effectiveness and safety of ezetimibe among liver transplant recipients because this has been evaluated previously only in kidney and heart transplant patients. A consecutive cohort of 25 liver graft recipients with serum low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels > 100 mg/dL (2.5 mmol/L) after a mean (+/-standard deviation) of 55 +/- 21 months following liver transplantation received ezetimibe (10 mg orally every day) for at least 6 months. Serum lipid profiles, liver and renal function tests, and dosages and blood levels of the immunosuppression drugs at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months were prospectively collected. The overall mean age was 58 +/- 12 years, and 56% were males. Statin therapy and fibrates were already being used in 32% and 20% of recipients for elevated LDL and/or triglycerides, respectively. The immunosuppression regimen included cyclosporine in 48% of subjects, tacrolimus in 32%, sirolimus in 48%, and mycophenolate mofetil in 44%; only 12% were on oral prednisone with a maximum daily dose of 5 mg. After ezetimibe was started, an 18% reduction in LDL values was observed [at baseline, 147 +/- 35 mg/dL (3.8 +/- 0.9 mmol/L), and at 6 months, 120 +/- 31 mg/dL (3.1 +/- 0.8 mmol/L); P = 0.010]. After 6 months, an additional 32% achieved the target LDL level of <100 mg/dL. None of the remaining variables, including immunosuppression drug levels, varied significantly during ezetimibe therapy. None of the subjects required adjustments in their pharmacological dosages. One discontinued ezetimibe 3 months later because of cost, 2 subjects had minimal nausea, 1 subject had myalgias without a rise in creatine phosphokinase, and 1 subject had a transient elevation (3-5 times) in liver enzymes from baseline with increases in the total and indirect bilirubin levels. In conclusion, among liver transplant recipients, hypercholesterolemia can be effectively treated with ezetimibe with few side effects and no interaction with immunosuppressive regimens.

Ergosterol-containing extracts from A. bisporus lowered hepatic triglyceride and modify the mRNA expression of cholesterol-related genes although the transcriptional regulation was unrelated to changes in plasma lipid profile. These extracts may be useful limiting hepatic steatosis and as bioactive ingredients to design novel functional foods preventing lifestyle-related diseases such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

In the Improved Reduction of Outcomes: Vytorin Efficacy International Trial, intensive low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)-reducing therapy with ezetimibe/simvastatin compared with simvastatin alone was associated with a significant reduction in cardiovascular events in 18 144 patients after acute coronary syndrome. The safety of very low LDL-C levels over the long-term is unknown.

Dysregulation of lipoprotein metabolism may be due to a combination of overproduction of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, decreased catabolism of apoB-containing particles, and increased catabolism of HDL particles. These abnormalities may be consequent on a global metabolic effect of insulin resistance and an excess of both visceral and hepatic fat. Lifestyle modifications may favourably alter lipoprotein transport in the metabolic syndrome. Patients with dyslipidaemia and established cardiovascular disease should receive a statin as first-line therapy. Combination with other lipid-regulating agents, such as ezetimibe, fibrates, niacins and fish oils may optimize the benefit of statin on atherogenic dyslipidaemia.

The separation of fluorinated active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) from their desfluoro analogs is a challenging analytical task due to their structural similarity. In this work, fluorine containing APIs and their corresponding desfluorinated impurities were separated on five new 2.7μm superficially porous particles (SPPs) functionalized with bonded chiral selectors. The unique shape selectivity of bonded macrocyclic glycopeptides and oligosaccharides was utilized to separate seven pairs of fluoro/desfluoro APIs resulting in some unprecedented selectivity values. For example, SPP bonded isopropyl cyclofructan 6 yielded a selectivity of 2.73 for voriconazole and desfluoro voriconazole. Further, the SPP based columns allowed for rapid separations ranging from 9 to 55s with very high efficiencies ranging from 45,000 to 70,000plates/m (at high flow rates) in both reversed phase and polar organic modes. Chromatographic separation and detection by HPLC-ESI-MS was demonstrated using ezetimibe and voriconazole and their desfluorinated impurities. Among the tested phases, SPP hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin separated the most fluorinated and desfluorinated analogs with baseline resolution.

Adding ezetimibe to basal statin therapy resulted in a further 15.0% reduction of TC, 20.5% reduction of LDL-C, and 19.7% reduction of non-HDL-C. The change in TC was significantly greater in males than in females. The change in TG was significantly greater in patients with a baseline TG level ≥150 mg/dL. Multivariate regression analysis showed that male sex and LDL-C ≥140 mg/dL were independent predictors of TC reduction after adjustment for age, BMI, and HbA1c. A baseline TG ≥150 mg/dL was also an independent predictor of TG reduction.

Previous trials and their meta-analyses suggested that statins reduce lipid levels, the risk of cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality in nondialysis-dependent CKD. The Study of Heart and Renal Protection (SHARP) study that enrolled both dialysis-dependent and nondialysis-dependent CKD patients showed a 17% decrease in major atherosclerotic events with statins or ezetimibe. Similar cardiovascular benefits are observed in renal transplant recipients. However, such positive effects were not found in two recent clinical trials that enrolled hemodialysis patients alone. This lack of benefit might be attributed to differences in the cause of cardiovascular death seen in dialysis patients and smaller sample size. The overall benefits-harms tradeoff may benefit from meta-analysis and individual patient data meta-analysis in hemodialysis patients including the SHARP data.

The American Heart Association (AHA) Scientific Sessions were held in Chicago on November 15-19, 2014. The meeting attracted more than 17,000 participants, including physicians, research scientists, students, and paramedical personnel, from more than 100 countries. Sessions over the 5 days included comprehensive and unparalleled education delivered via more than 5,000 presentations, with 1,000 invited faculty members and 4,000 abstract presentations from world leaders in cardiovascular (CV) disease. There were 16 trials scheduled in 4 late-breaking clinical trial sessions. The Dual Antiplatelet Therapy study revealed that aspirin plus a thienopyridine beyond 1 year subsequent to placement of a drug-eluting stent, as compared with aspirin therapy alone, significantly reduced stent thrombosis and major CV and cerebrovascular events but was associated with increased risk of bleeding. The IMPROVE-IT research showed that, relative to simvastatin with placebo, simvastatin with 10 mg of ezetimibe daily led to a significantly lower primary combined endpoint in moderate- to high-risk patients, who stabilized following acute coronary syndrome. This was the first trial to demonstrate incremental clinical benefit by adding a nonstatin agent to statin therapy and reaffirmed the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) hypothesis stating that reducing LDL-cholesterol prevents CV events. Summaries and overviews of both the late-breaking trials and the sessions to which members of the Japanese Circulation Society contributed are presented.

Both atorvastatin and ezetimibe may have selective immunomodulatory properties independent of their mechanisms of LDL lowering, given that both drugs affect CD4 T helper cells but have no effect on CD8 cytotoxic lymphocytes in vitro. Although speculative, both of these agents could potentially offer benefits to the transplant patient by modulating important components of the adaptive immune system. CD4+ cells in particular are implicated in both CAV and rejection processes.

Ezetimibe, a selective inhibitor of intestinal cholesterol absorption, effectively reduces plasma cholesterol both in monotherapy or combined with a statin. However, its effect on atherosclerosis plaque progression is certainly unknown. MicroRNAs are short non-encoding RNA molecules dynamically implicated in monocytic differentiation which is considered an essential process during atherosclerosis development. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of ezetimibe on monocyte/macrophage differentiation as well as the implication of microRNAs (miRNAs) in this process. THP-1 differentiation with PMA became cells adherent to the plastic surface, and induced the expression of macrophage surface markers (CD11a, CD11b and ICAM-1) and miR-155, miR-222, miR-424 and miR-503. In the presence of ezetimibe, the adhesive capacity of THP-1 cells was decreased in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05) and the expression of CD11a, CD11b and ICAM-1 was almost totally inhibited (P<0.05). The expression of miR-155, miR-222, miR-424 and miR-503 was reduced by 55%, 100%, 75% and 100%, respectively (P<0.05). Further mechanistic studies demonstrated that ezetimibe suppressed the PMA-induced phosphorylation of ERK/MAPK and inhibited the NF-κB activity, which are upstream signalling molecules in the differentiation process. In conclusion, ezetimibe inhibits PMA-induced THP-1 cell differentiation into macrophage-like cells in association with the inhibition of miRNA pathways. Our study suggests that inhibition of miRNAs might form a novel mechanism of anti-atherosclerotic effect of ezetimibe.

Ezetimibe (Zetia) is a potent inhibitor of cholesterol absorption that has been approved for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia. Statin, an inhibitor of cholesterol synthesis, is the first-choice drug to reduce low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) for patients with hypercholesterolemia, due to its strong effect to lower the circulating LDL-C levels. Because a high dose of statins cause concern about rhabdomyolysis, it is sometimes difficult to achieve the guideline-recommended levels of LDL-C in high-risk patients with hypercholesterolemia treated with statin monotherapy. Ezetimibe has been reported to reduce LDL-C safely with both monotherapy and combination therapy with statins.

Genetic variability in hepatic uptake was recently shown to influence the disposition and cholesterol-lowering effects of statins. Ezetimibe, an inhibitor of the intestinal cholesterol uptake protein Niemann-Pick C 1 like 1, is another drug for which genetic polymorphisms of hepatic organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATPs) are expected to be of clinical relevance because ezetimibe undergoes intensive enterohepatic circulation for which hepatic uptake transporters may be rate-limiting determinants.

The mean cholesterol level of the civilized modern humans is above the one considered "physiological", and a biological gradient exists between serum cholesterol level and cardiovascular events. Clinical studies on cholesterol lowering revealed that cardiovascular risk can be lowered in parallel along this gradient, and the "lower is better" rule appears to be supported by the current evidence. LDL cholesterol level should minimally be reduced on average by 50% to approach the "physiological" cholesterol concentration in order to halt the progression of atherosclerosis. Using the initial doses of hydroxymethylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors (statins), the first-line lipid lowering drugs, this goal cannot be reached. On the other hand, high doses of statins increase the frequency of adverse events, which should contribute to the common failure of buy zetia putting patients to their lipid targets in a real-world setting. Consequently, the combination of low dose statins and another cholesterol lowering agent with a mechanism of action different than synthesis inhibition (such as ezetimibe) may be the optimal clinical approach to avoid the dose-dependent adverse events. The ongoing large head-to-head clinical trials will clarify the efficacy and safety of cholesterol lowering combination therapy relative to statins in the reduction of cardiovascular risk.

In mice, we found TICE to be regulated by intestinal FXR via induction of its target gene Fgf15 (FGF19 in rats and human beings). Stimulation of this pathway caused mice to excrete up to 60% of their total cholesterol content each day. PX20606 and FGF19 each increased the ratio of muricholate:cholate in bile, inducing a more hydrophilic bile salt pool. The altered bile salt pool stimulated robust secretion of cholesterol into the intestinal lumen via the sterol-exporting heterodimer adenosine triphosphate buy zetia binding cassette subfamily G member 5/8 (ABCG5/G8). Of note, the increase in TICE induced by PX20606 was independent of changes in cholesterol absorption.

We found that confluent Caco-2 cells expressed NPC1L1, and the absorption of cholesterol in the cells was inhibited by ezetimibe, a specific inhibitor of NPC1L1. We then pretreated the cells with 0.1-10 nM BPA for 24 h and found that BPA at 1 and 10 nM doses promoted cholesterol absorption. buy zetia In addition, we found that the BPA-induced promotion of cholesterol absorption was associated with significant increase in the levels of NPC1L1 protein and NPC1L1 mRNA. Moreover, the stimulatory effects of BPA on cholesterol absorption and NPC1L1 expression could be prevented by blockade of the SREBP-2 pathway.

An extensive body of evidence buy zetia from randomized clinical trials supports the new risk-based approach. The emphasis is on the appropriate intensity of statin therapy in patients most likely to benefit. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidelines have taken a similar approach. Recent studies have found the 2013 guideline outperforms earlier cholesterol guidelines recommending low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) treatment thresholds and targets. The 2013 cholesterol guideline better identifies high-risk patients with a greater burden of atherosclerosis and avoids treating those at lower risk with little atherosclerosis; its application would prevent up to 450 000 more atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) events over 10 years. The 2013 cholesterol guideline also recommends regularly monitoring LDL-C levels to assess adherence to lifestyle and drug therapy, and adjusting treatment based on response to therapy and adverse events. Non-statins shown to reduce ASCVD events when added to statin therapy, and that have an acceptable margin of safety in randomized, controlled clinical trials, are preferred. Ezetimibe has now been shown to meet this standard.

Ezetimibe is a novel lipid-lowering agent that inhibits intestinal absorption of dietary and biliary cholesterol. In the present work, a simple, sensitive and reproducible gradient reverse phase high performance liquid chromatographic (RP-HPLC) method for separation and determination of the related substances of ezetimibe was developed and validated. Eleven potential process-related impurities (starting materials, (3S,4S,3'S)-isomer, degradants and byproducts) were identified in the crude samples. Tentative structures for all the impurities were assigned primarily based on comparison of their retention time and mass spectrometric data with that of available standards and references. This method can be applied to routine analysis in quality control of both bulk drugs and commercial tablets. Separation of all these compounds was performed on a Phenomenex Luna Phenyl-Hexyl (100mm×4.6mm, 5μm) analytical column. The mobile phase-A consists of acetonitrile-water (pH adjusted to buy zetia 4.0 with phosphoric acid)-methanol at 15:75:10 (v/v/v), and mobile phase-B contains acetonitrile. The eluted compounds were monitored at 210nm. Ezetimibe was subjected to hydrolytic, acid, base, oxidative, photolytic and thermal stress conditions as per ICH serves to generate degradation products that can be used as a worst case to assess the analytical method performance. The drug showed extensive degradation in thermal, acid, oxidative, base and hydrolytic stress conditions, while it was stable to photolytic degradation conditions. The main degradation product formed under thermal, acid, oxidative, base and hydrolytic stress conditions corresponding to (2R,3R,6S)-N, 6-bis(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-oxane-3-carboxamide (Ezetimibe tetrahydropyran impurity) was characterized by LC-MS/MS analysis. The degradation products were well resolved from the main peak and its impurities, thus proved the stability-indicating power of the method. The developed method was validated as per international conference on harmonization (ICH) guidelines with respect to specificity, linearity, limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ), accuracy, precision and robustness.

Ezetimibe is a new lipid-lowering agent that inhibits intestinal absorption of dietary cholesterol. It substantially lowers low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels when used alone or in combination with statins. However, its effect on cardiovascular mortality remains unknown. We reviewed peer-reviewed published literature on the effect of ezetimibe on different phases of atherosclerosis. MEDLINE, EMBASE, BIOSIS, and other Web of Knowledge databases were searched for relevant abstracts and articles published in the English language that compared ezetimibe and statins as modulators of atherosclerosis. buy zetia On the basis of the available evidence, ezetimibe appears to reduce inflammation when used in combination with statins, but its effect on endothelial function is mixed and less clear. The effect of ezetimibe on coronary disease progression or prevention of cardiovascular events is currently unknown. Use of ezetimibe as a second- or third-line agent to achieve low-density lipoprotein cholesterol treatment goals seems appropriate on the basis of the available evidence.

Lipid profiles were evaluated for 281 dyslipidemia patients treated with HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins) for 2 years. The efficacy and safety of ezetimibe 10 mg/day one-year add-on therapy were also retrospectively evaluated. The results show that in 281 dyslipidemia patients with a mean low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) level of 120 mg/dl or greater, ezetimibe 10 mg/day administration reduced LDL-C levels to 90 mg/dl or below. Patients who had been treated with one of six statins (pravastatin, simvastatin, fluvastatin, pitavastatin, atorvastatin, and rosuvastatin) for one year were given ezetimibe add- buy zetia on therapy for one year, which reduced their LDL-C levels by 18% (pravastatin), 25% (simvastatin), 27% (fluvastatin), 30% (pitavastatin), 29% (atorvastatin), and 31% (rosuvastatin). Also, during the one-year add-on therapy, no severe adverse event was detected. An analysis of associations among lipids during a two-year lipid-lowering pharmacotherapy revealed correlations in a single patient. The correlation was between LDL-C and small, dense LDL as well as mid-band lipoprotein cholesterol. In conclusion, ezetimibe 10mg/day add-on therapy may be safe and effective for treating dislipidemia patients who have been treated with a statin. Moreover, this article discusses the disappearance thresholds for small, dense LDL and intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL) by using the quantitative analysis of densitometric pattern based on genetic algorithm, which indicated that the major eight subspecies of lipoprotein (VLDL1, VLDL2, IDL1, IDL2, LDL1, LDL2, LDL3, HDL).

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is characterized by hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and/or progressive loss of β-cell function. T2DM patients are at increased risk of micro- and macrovascular disease, and are often considered as representing an atherosclerotic coronary heart disease (CHD) risk equivalent. Interventions directed at glucose and lipid level control in T2DM patients may reduce micro- and macrovascular disease. The optimal T2DM agent is one that lowers glucose levels with limited risk for hypoglycemia, and with no clinical trial evidence of worsening CHD risk. Lipid-altering drugs should preferably reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and apolipoprotein B (apo B) and have evidence that the mechanism Motrin Dosage Youth of action reduces CHD risk. Statins reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and apo B and have evidence of improving CHD outcomes, and are thus first-line therapy for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia. In patients who do not achieve optimal lipid levels with statin therapy, or who are intolerant to statin therapy, add-on therapy or alternative therapies may be indicated. Additional available agents to treat hypercholesterolemic patients with T2DM include bile acid sequestrants, fibrates, niacin, and ezetimibe. This review discusses the use of these alternative agents to treat hypercholesterolemia in patients with T2DM, either as monotherapy or in combination with statin therapy.

Arterial disease is common in advancing renal failure, culminating in myocardial infarction with cardiac failure, strokes and peripheral and renal artery disease. Attention to cardiac and arterial disease may slow deterioration of renal function. Management of risk factors can reduce these sequelae. Areas covered: Modifiable risk factors for arterial disease and relevant pharmacotherapies. Expert opinion: Cardiovascular disease is the biggest killer in renal failure. Statins are viewed as essential in symptomatic coronary disease and have been shown in non-renal patients to improve survival after myocardial infarction. Cochrane recommends statins in renal failure but not in end stage renal disease or transplant patients. Large well powered clinical trials focussed specifically on renal patients failed to demonstrate cardiovascular outcome or mortality benefits of statins when compared to placebo. Other lipid lowering pharmacotherapies are weaker and adverse effects may account for the absence of net clinical benefit in non-renal patients in Propecia 1mg Tablets published clinical trials. Patients should be started on a statin after myocardial infarction, regardless of lipid levels, but the risk of adverse effects in advanced renal failure with its comorbidities predicates employing only essential doses.
